I'm going to state that resulting stats are reasonably close to a player's real life stats for that year and are valid for this discussion. If you disagree then present your case.
Easy.

Import a modern season. Then change the League Settings to a Deadball season (make sure to lock your league totals).

You now have a situation where your players are rated for a modern season (including the "Resulting Stats" in the editor), but their actual output will be Deadball because that is what is in the League Totals.

Most of the time your Real Stats and League Totals are starting with the same "base" which is why the Editor shows numbers that are close to real life stats. However, those "Resulting Stats" are not reflecting the League Totals at all, the similarity is simply a function of the "Real Stats" and "League Totals" being from the same year/era.

So, when discussing these things those "Resulting Stats" are not truly relevant as they do not actually interact with the League Totals.
